COMMERCIAL AND PRIVATE CINEMA AND AUDIO HALLS

Home cinema, listening room or multi-room are areas in which the sound experience plays a central role. A well-designed multimedia room is not only about the right choice of equipment, but above all about its calibration and acoustic adaptation to the room. A high reverberation time or distracting ambient noise can effectively prevent us from realising the full potential of the cinema or listening room. 

We carry out projects in collaboration with interior designers or directly with the owner of the space.

adaptacja akustyczna sala odsłuchowa

Salon Audiostrefa

W sali odsłuchowej szczególnie ważna jest profesjonalna adaptacja i możliwie jak najbardziej neutralna charakterystyka brzemienia. Większość adaptacji akustycznej została zamaskowana systemem napinanych tkanin – NyquiWall

Sala odsłuchowa Legionów

Pomieszczenie w Legionowie pod Warszawą miało pełnić funkcję sali odsłuchowej oraz sali kinowej z naciskiem na dźwięk stereofoniczny. Dla klienta ważne było uzyskanie dużej szczegółowości i precyzji dźwiękowej podczas słuchania muzyki. Kołnierz sufitowy oraz przednie narożniki pomieszczenia wykorzystaliśmy do zabudowy pułapek basowych.

Sala odsłuchowa Grudziądz

Sala odsłuchowa w Grudziądzu miała być zaprojektowana z myślą o odsłuchu sprzętu audio klasy hi-end. Postanowiliśmy więc podejść do tematu bezkompromisowo. Projektując pomieszczenie zainspirowaliśmy się salą koncertową filharmonii w Szczecinie.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Audio equipment is only responsible for sound quality to a certain extent. Just as important, if not more important, room acoustics. The appropriate selection of acoustic panels affects all aspects of music we perceive, such as: detail, dynamics, spatiality, stereophony, timbre, tonal balance or the location of phantom images. A properly designed room guarantees the highest level of sound quality.

The price of acoustic panels depends on many factors, including: the size of the room, the degree of advancement of the project, as well as the visual effect we want to achieve. The average price of a complete adaptation / insulation is usually in the range of 1000 - 2000 PLN net / m2, calculated on the floor area. In order to estimate the exact costs of the project, it is worth contacting us by e-mail or telephone and arranging a consultation with one of our acousticians.

Yes. The number and type of individual acoustic panels should be selected individually for each room on the basis of appropriate calculations and acoustic measurements. Incompetent adaptation can be counterproductive. For example, by using homogeneous acoustic panels throughout the room, we will only act on a specific frequency band in which a given panel works most effectively. This can make it muffled in relation to the rest, which will increase the sonic imbalance instead of reducing it.

Yes. We offer a special masking system (Nyquiwall) that allows you to hide acoustic panels or speakers under a tight fabric. The whole thing looks like a smooth wall (or ceiling), so we don't have to worry about a radical change in the interior design. Bass traps can also be made as part of a suspended ceiling or a corner building of a room. Regardless of the type of acoustic panels, we try to design the space so that it constitutes an integral and aesthetic whole.

If we have a choice of a dedicated room or living room - of course, the first option will be much better. The advantages of an independent room include the possibility of complete acoustic adaptation, optimal sound, adequate darkening of the image, or isolation from the rest of the house. Often, however, our entertainment center is the living room. Also in this case, we can design a cinema or a listening room. It is a more difficult task, requiring some compromises, but it is quite feasible.

Yes. However, it should be remembered that absorbing and diffusing acoustic panels and bass traps are used to improve the acoustic conditions inside the room itself. However, they do not significantly affect the transmission of noise to adjacent rooms. The noise level depends mainly on the materials from which the walls, floor, ceiling are made and the building structure itself. We use completely different materials for the acoustic insulation of the partitions than for the interior adaptation. When it comes to insulation, it is always advisable to consult an acoustician.

Yes. However, this requires some compromises. We have more sound sources in the cinema room (5.1; 7.1; 7.2.4 system), therefore we need more damping and shorter reverberation time. In turn, for listening to music in stereo, we need a "livelier" room with a more natural sound. In addition to the smaller number of absorbing acoustic panels, we have to use diffusing panels. Therefore, before making the project, it is necessary to determine how often we will use both systems and adapt the appropriate acoustic panels to it.

Jeżeli mamy taką możliwość to warto zaplanować pomieszczenie stereo/ salę kinową już na etapie projektowania domu. Możemy wtedy dobrać odpowiednie wymiary i proporcje pomieszczenia, sposób wykonania ścian, stropów, zaplanować pułapki basowe, odpowiednią izolację akustyczną czy instalację audio-video. Zazwyczaj jednak dysponujemy już jakimś pomieszczeniem, które chcemy zaadaptować. W takim przypadku powinniśmy zadbać o odpowiedni projekt akustyczny, tak aby odpowiednio wykorzystać posiadaną przestrzeń.

To obtain perfect acoustic conditions, both absorbing and diffusing acoustic panels should be used in the room. All acoustic panels that we use in our projects are tested for their sound absorption or dispersion characteristics. Thanks to this, we are able to choose the right type, number and proportions of panels for a given space. In most cases, it is also required to make tuned acoustic panels and bass traps.

Choosing hi-fi / hi-end equipment is usually a long and tedious process. There are many manufacturers of audio equipment on the market and new ones are created every year. Just hearing some of them and forming your own opinion about them is very difficult. In addition, there are countless configurations of speakers, amplifiers, DACs, turntables, players and cables. For over 10 years, hi-fi has been our hobby, so we are happy to help you with good audio equipment, regardless of your budget.

Not. We work with all distributors and producers, both large and small manufactories. We want to be independent in the selection of audio-video equipment and be able to choose from all the products available on the market. We are not limited to specific companies. Thanks to this, we can always select equipment tailored to individual needs for our clients.

Can I get conditions like in a real cinema at home? Yes. What's more, a well-prepared home theater usually allows for much better conditions than in commercial cinemas. Taking care of the appropriate audio-video system and room acoustics, we will hear and see much more at home. For this to happen, you need to make an appropriate design adapted to our room.

Często podchodzimy sceptycznie do inteligentnej automatyki. Gdy raz spróbujemy, zazwyczaj nie chcemy już wracać do tradycyjnych rozwiązań. Dobrze zaprogramowane inteligentne sterowanie powinno ułatwiać korzystanie z mediów, zwiększać nasze bezpieczeństwo, a przede wszystkim powodować oszczędności domowej energii. Obecne systemy automatyki budynkowej są coraz tańsze i bardziej niezawodne. Przed zakupem takiego systemu powinniśmy zapoznać się z jego wszelkimi wadami i zaletami.
